Nacho Chicken Casserole

Ingredients:

3 to 4 cups cooked diced chicken
16 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
2 cans (10 3/4 oz each) condensed cream of chicken soup
1 can (approx. 10 oz) diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
1 cup chopped onion
1 can (4 ounces) mild green chile peppers
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 package (14 1/2 oz) tortilla chips

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine chicken, cheese, soup, tomatoes, green chiles, onion, and seasonings; mix well.
2. Crush chips; set aside 1 cup of the chips for topping and blend remaining chips into chicken mixture.
3. Spoon mixture into a greased 13 x 9-inch baking dish; sprinkle with reserved tortilla chips. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbling.
4. Layer lettuce on plate, then top it with casserole, add a little bit of shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream and more crushed chips.

Serves 4 to 6.
